About
Us...
Youth with a Mission (YWAM)
began in 1960 and one of its three overall thrusts is Mercy
Ministries internationally (MMI) – an integral approach
in mission. Our model and example is Jesus Christ and his
compassionate response to the needs of all people.
MMI is operational in more
than 100 countries as it seeks to impact more than 100 million
living in absolute poverty in the next 20 years. From
agricultural assistance to health care to micro enterprise
development, MMI seeks to meet the felt needs of individuals
and communities, children at risk, refugees and those and
those living on the edge of survival in both crisis and
long term development situations.
The
World at a Glance
-
2 billion living in or
just above absolute poverty
-
40 million refugees or
internally displaced
-
40 million infected with
HIV/AIDS virus – 70 million forecast to die of HIV/AIDS
by 2020
-
More than half the world's
children are suffering the effects of poverty, war and
HIV/AIDS that threaten their lives
How does "loving
your neighbor" translate into the above statistics?
Values that are central
to the operations of MMI
-
Love God in both word and deed
-
Affirm human dignity, value, equality and worth for
all peoples
-
Encourage people to be free to live and to act according
to their conscience
-
Promote hope in the present and to empower plans for
the future
-
Encourage personal and community participation and sharing
in decision making
-
Promote transformation in all aspects of society
-
Continue to learn and to live in humilty
 Will
you join this international, multi-cultural movement in
bringing a message of hope to these people? Will you
join us by praying, giving of your skills, finances and
your commitment? As the mission expands, so does the need
for workers. Countless opportunities, covering a wide spectrum
of skills and professions exist today.
Jesus came to give life, &
life to the full. We at MMI do our best
to see this promise brought to the masses, crossing political
barriers, socio-economical and cultural barriers, reaching
out to a needy and hurting world.
